“Poetry &” at Neutral Ground Bar + Kitchen

Kick off National Poetry Month with a collaboration between poetry & culinary arts.

This April, two New Orleans natives bring the bayou to Northern Virginia—one through verse, one through flavor. ArtsFairfax partners with Neutral Ground Bar + Kitchen to offer a prix-fixe menu inspired by Fairfax County Poet Laureate Angelique Palmer, available only from April 7-14.

On Tuesday, April 14 at 5pm, reserve a table to enjoy the $40 three course menu, alongside remarks from Chef David Guas, and a live poetry reading from Fairfax County Poet Laureate Angelique Palmer to celebrate this unique fusion of Poetry & Food.
